WHAT WE FOUND

To successfully override a presidential veto, the U.S. Constitution requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate 2 17. While the House has recently passed legislation by a veto-proof margin, the Senate fell short of the necessary majority with a recorded vote of 63-47 1. Historical data shows that overriding a veto is a rare occurrence, with only 7.1% of regular vetoes being successfully bypassed since 1789 2. Recent legislative attempts in 2022, 2023, and 2024 regarding reproductive rights and birth control have repeatedly failed to secure sufficient support in the Senate 20. Consequently, there are not enough votes in the current Congress to repass such legislation over a presidential objection 1 18.
